Over priced mediocre Indian food – I have to start off saying I LOVE Indian food, and have been to many Indian restaurants around the country and in London and Sydney. So I was very excited to introduce my boyfriend to the cuisine last night. I read some good reviews about Gaylord online and have been to the Gaylord in San Francisco about 3 years ago, so I figured it was a safe bet. The service and atmosphere were fine, not exceptional, but good; but the food was very mediocre. We had the chicken curry and vegetarian combination plates so we could taste an array of items. The rice tasted like it came from a rice cooker and did not have that great texture, flavor, and oil that most Indian rice has....it also had peas on top and smelled like they added a touch of cinnamon to it (which would be fine but it looked and tasted cheap and didn't have the same complexity I'm used to). The curry, saag, and masala were fine if they came off a cheap buffet, but they didn't have that creamy sauce with all the delicate flavors you'd expect. Honestly I've had much better Indian food from hole in the walls at $8 a plate than this hoity-toity $20+ a plate place. With that said, my boyfriend liked the food, but he had nothing to compare it to.
Gaylord, an enigma – It's strange how Gaylord in Beverly Hills is easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the LA area, yet Gaylord in Vegas and San Francisco are easily among the worst in their respective cities. The Beverly Hills staff should be sent out to the other locations to preach things like service and quality to these locations that are truly clueless.
Avoid Avoid.....never try!! – The food took more than 30 mins to get served. The bread was not cooked properly. Service is very poor. Food is very costly. I ordered 4 parathas to go and they only gave me 2 and charged for 4. I noticed that when opened the box at my hotel, so couldn't even complaint.
Worst service in Las Vegas, Food poorly seasoned, oders messed up beyond repair. Would NOT return!!! – We went here during the christmas holiday week and the restuarant was virtually empty. We were one of maybe 4 tables. After the appetizers were served we waited over an hour for the entrees. After nicely asking a manager how long the food was going to be, He responded with "We're very busy" and then quickyl walked away. We didn't once get a refill on water or offered another drink. One of our guests had ordered the salmon, but they brought her the Sea Bass. She mentioned this right away and the food runner said "We're out of salmon." The waiter then came over and said "I forgot to tell you, we ran out of salmon." I would have assumed he would have mentioned that during the ordering process. Suffice to say, they didn't offer an alternative and she went hungry for the evening.
The food was not authentic. The vindaloo was Overly salted, the soup was bland, and the salad was nothing to write home about.
I would not be masochitic enough to ever return here with so many other wonderful choices in Las Vegas. Even the Buffet at the RIO would have been better than this place!!
Good for tourists – I like the food okay, it's very overpriced and the waitstaff doesn't seem very efficient. It's NOT kid friendly, and when I dined with my wife I needed a reservation. The bartender however made the visit almost worth it. He was knowledgeable and very helpful for those who aren't in the know. He was leaving to aid the Red Cross in Katrina relief, and hopefully will be back.
Over-rated! – I have visited the Gaylord twice, the second time not by choice but necessity. The food is over-rated and in a Indian/British style and definitely over priced. The service is poor with too many managers hovvering round doing very little, appearing aloof to the waiters and diners. Why anyone would choose this restaurant is anyones guess when the excellent Rio World Buffet is located in the same building!
Editorial Review – Well-liked Indian chain since 1976 graces Las Vegas with classic upscale dining for special occasions.
Avoid this restaurant in any city! – I am from San Francisco and have had the worst service and the worst indian food at this restaurant in SF. That was 3 years ago when we waited for 2 hours with no appetizers...Well, we decided to give it a try in Las Vegas again...Had to be the most bland Indian food I have ever had...As an Indian, I would have to say this was food prepared by non-Indians for non-Indians! And the service was once again so aweful that I felt like walking out again like we did three years ago! Avoid this overpriced Indian restaurant at any cost! They cater to tourists who don't know any better and at least you know better not to go there!
We like Gaylord which has a great rating. The food was good and the service was INCREDIBLE. Our waitress even gain us free dessert to celebrate my pregnancy. However, the prices are WAY higher than they should be. We moved to Vegas from Atlanta where there is a high Indian population and know that we can easily get food of the same quality for 1/2 the price at other places. The restaurant is quite lovely and after dinner you can walk down and catch the free show and parade in the casino. Worth a try - just a bit overpriced. VERY good. Try the Chicken Vindaloo - very spicey!
Expensive BUT worth it!!! – I have been a fan of Gaylord's restaurants in San Francisco for more than 20 years. YES, the prices are higher at the Rio LV location but the food is still impeccable...I have been dissappointed at EVERY other Indian restaurants in LV that I have been to and I have been to 7 of them, twice each. I always look at the menu in a new restaurant before I sit down to be sure that it fits my expectaions for that day, but I'd much rather pay more for GREAT food than a little for so-so fare.

Saturday was moving day at the Northern Trust Open and no player was more moved than Bill Haas.
He was also inspired and motivated even if he was relatively unchallenged.
The tournament's defending champion shot up the leaderboard with a brilliantly managed, bogey-free, seven-under-par 64.
Haas' round matched the brilliant blue sky over Riviera Country Club and was three shots better than anyone else Saturday.
Haas started the day tied for ninth, four shots back, and finished looking back at the field. He stands at 12-under 201 through 54 holes, and the bad news for the field is he's getting better as the tournament moves along. Haas' 64 followed rounds of 70 and 67.
Haas has a three-shot cushion over three players at nine-under 204 — Webb Simpson, Charl Schwartzel and John Merrick.
Luke Donald and Fredrik Jacobson are four shots back at 205. Donald shot a 70 Saturday while Jacobson shot a 72.
Phil Mickelson started play five shots back of co-leaders Sang-Moon Bae and Jacobson but sputtered like a prop plane on his way to a 72. He dropped to three under and nine behind Haas.
Mickelson, after a bogey on No. 18, was still the star of the rail outside the hilltop clubhouse, signing autographs as Haas passed him on his way to the scorer's room. Unless Mickelson has another 60 in his bag left over from the Phoenix Open, it's hard to see him making a Sunday run.
Haas played in overdrive on a day everyone else seemed stuck in neutral.
His 64 was being universally heralded on a day when warm weather turned Riviera's fairways loose and made the greens almost rock-hard.
"Bill shooting seven under is incredible out there," Simpson said.
Simpson said the back nine "reminded me of a U.S. Open, just the way the ball is releasing and the temperature got up."
That has some credibility, as Simpson is the reigning U.S. Open champion.
For the record, the only U.S. Open played at Riviera, in 1948, was won by Ben Hogan.
Haas and Simpson will have plenty of time to chat Sunday in an all-Atlantic Coast Conference final grouping of former Wake Forest Demon Deacons. They will be joined by Schwartzel, a member of Conference SA (South Africa).
Simpson missed Haas by a year in college, but the two players are close friends. Simpson said Haas acted as his big brother when he turned pro.
"He's really looked after me on tour," Simpson said.
Simpson will be looking three rungs up at Haas on the leaderboard ladder at the start of the final round. Sunday could be a walk-along coronation if Haas plays the way he did Saturday.
Simpson is banking on Riviera's increasing trickiness.

More than 20 years ago, when I was working on recipes for "A Treasury of Southern Baking," published by HarperCollins in 1993, I wanted to include a recipe for a lightly-spiced pumpkin pie.
Of course, I wanted to make it a little different than the traditional pumpkin pie. When you serve my version, guests will probably want to know about its special flavor; it actually comes from non-alcoholic pina colada mixer, which adds a flavorful hint of the tropics. Definitely tasty and different.
"Hometown Harvest," a new Gooseberry Patch cookbook I've added to my collection, has an interesting recipe for Coffee Can Pumpkin Cake. This would be a great make-ahead dessert because it freezes well.
Other pumpkin recipes in this great new cookbook include Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies with a vanilla glaze and the following easy Breakfast Pumpkin Butter.
2 1/2 cups cooked, mashed pumpkin (or canned pumpkin purée)
1/2 cup butter, softened at room temperature
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup pina colada mixer
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Preheat oven to 400 F. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, butter, brown sugar and pina colada mixer. Beat until well mixed. Add the eggs and beat well. Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 F. Reduce temperature to 350 F and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes or until a thin knife blade comes out clean when inserted into the center of pie. Cool completely before slicing.
2 cups pumpkin purée
1 cup oil
4 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup water
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional: 1 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, oil, eggs and water. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and spices. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture. Stir well. Fold in raisins and walnuts, if using. Spoon batter into 4 well-greased 16 ounce metal cans, filling half full. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 F for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until cakes test done when a toothpick is inserted in center. Cool in cans on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, turn cakes out of cans.
29 ounce can pumpkin
3/4 cup apple juice
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and stir well. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Transfer to containers, cover and keep refrigerated. Makes about 3 cups.

Palm Oil Production
Apparently the palm oil trees don't grow well in the soil of Sarawak. Thailand is eyeing palm oil production, and is using Malay expertise in its exploration of the possibility. I would expect Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam to follow suit.
Keep in mind that cultivation of the Indochina area was beginning under the French prior to World War II. I believe rubber was the primary crop in those days, but I could be mistaken. Many of those plantations were lost to rainforest in the decades of war that followed.

SABMiller reveals economic impact in Europe
21 December 2009
Ref 30/2010
21 December 2009
Ernst & Young report on SABMiller's contributions to the European Economy
Reveals the economic impact beyond excise
A recent Ernst and Young study has reviewed SABMiller's economic, regional and social impact in Europe. The work, which is based on the financial year ending 31 March 2009, looked at the impact of the production and sale of SABMiller's beers in Russia and the nine EU countries where it operates.
Through its acquisitions, principally in Central and Eastern Europe, SABMiller has gradually grown into a significant brewing force within Europe, with influence far beyond the gates of its breweries. The Ernst and Young report has found that for every person employed at the 23 European SABMiller breweries, an additional 15 jobs are generated in other industries including agriculture, transport, retail and advertising. In total this means that nearly a quarter of a million jobs are directly or indirectly related to the production and sale of SABMiller's beers.
SABMiller breweries in Europe sold approximately 45 million hectolitres of beer in 2008 - the equivalent of nearly eight billion pints. In turn these generated EUR 3.83 billion in government revenues from sources such as excise, VAT paid both by brewers and hospitality sector companies, social security contributions and personal income taxes paid by both SABMiller and supply chain employees.
The survey has found that the economic impact of SABMiller breweries is particularly significant in the regions in which they are located. Around 40% (27,500) of all supply sector jobs generated by SABMiller are in the same region as the breweries, within this the majority of jobs (63%) are in the agricultural sector.
SABMiller CEO Graham Mackay said: "Good business is good for development - so long as companies operate in a responsible and accountable manner. For us a healthy, growing economic environment in the communities where we operate is the key to achieving business success. By better understanding our socio-economic impact, we can maximise our ability to make a difference through stimulating economic development."
Beyond the quantitative, economic analysis, the report provides an overview of some of the social and environmental impacts of SABMiller's European operations. For example in the last three years most of them have implemented projects aimed at reducing energy use; all operations have been involved in an ambitious training programme to implement SABMiller's principles and policies on advertising and all countries have initiatives to promote responsible drinking.
The full report can be accessed here
Notes to editors:
SABMiller is one of the world's largest brewers with brewing interests and distribution agreements across six continents. The group's wide portfolio of brands includes premium international beers such as Grolsch, Miller Genuine Draft, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Pilsner Urquell, as well as market-leading local brands such as Aguila, Castle, Miller Lite, Snow and Tyskie. SABMiller is also one of the largest bottlers of Coca-Cola products in the world.
In the year ended 31 March 2009, the group reported US$3,405 million in adjusted pre-tax profit and group revenue of US$25,302 million. SABMiller is listed on the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges.

Speaking to someone by Skype from your phone can be a bit awkward at times, with person on the other end often seeing only half your face or a closeup of your earlobe. Enter Botiful, a telepresence robot for consumers designed by Clair Delaunay who used Shapeways 3D Printing for her prototypes. She's already raised over $62k on Kickstarter thus far and has racked up some support by others who are hoping for more natural remote conversations, including TechCrunch and Skype's former Chief Architect Ahti Heinla.
With Skype as a simple interface, the telepresence platform for Android
phones roams around and lets you be remotely present from anywhere in the world. Botiful can enable Skype video calls, baby monitoring, and even entertaining your pets...
Claire used 3D Printing with Shapeways for some of her prototyping and
functional designs, from creating the robot's appearance to testing how she could
mount the motors, sensors,
electronic board, and battery. She also used 3D Printing with Shapeways to design an
efficient mechanism for the tilting head (she 3D printed the gears).
For the final product, she plans to use injection molding. She's also considering offering "customization services around Botiful
to let users add new sensors or actuators suiting their needs. For
instance, some people are asking for a LED, or Infrared sensors. 3d Printing would be a nice addition to customize the housing to let users
add new capabilities."
Prototypes 3D printed with Shapeways.

The items came to us all tangled and twisted as though someone had used them and returned them. It took twice as long for set up because of this. However, we definitely achieved the look we wanted.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Patience at Viking camp and criticism of Bohl's punishment(WDAY Sports) - Tonight on Further Review, a call for patience at Vikings camp and a criticism of Craig Bohl's latest round of punishment.
By: Steve Hallstrom, WDAY
(WDAY Sports) - Tonight on Further Review, a call for patience at Vikings camp and a criticism of Craig Bohl's latest round of punishment.
Every year when I get back Vikings camp, friends will ask how I thought the Vikings looked. I try to be honest with them, and say sorry for being a wet blanket, but we're only there for 2 days of guys running around in shorts so i really have no idea, but yet every year after one day of drills, I'll read some reporter's comments that this guy looked great or this guy really struggled.
This year it was T-Jack had a great command of the offense, while Sage looked shaky and threw wobbly passes. We have no idea what routes the receivers are supposed to run, or what the offensive linemen are supposed to do so don't buy any conclusions drawn after one day that should take weeks to form.
I have a great deal of respect for Craig Bohl and the job he does at NDSU, but I think he's making a mistake with this recent round of suspensions. Shamen Washington gets one game for a DUI arrest after several of his teammates had already gotten in trouble with alcohol, and Jose Mohler gets two games for his DUI. His second alcohol related arrest in his first nine months on campus.
If you're scoring at home, his arrests have a 2-nothing lead on his game snaps. Bohl says that the guys have learned their lessons. Ok maybe they have, but do you really think the other players will see this as punishment to be avoided at all costs?
One and two game suspensions have been the norm, and so have, not so coincidentally, the continuance of the problems. Washington needed at least 2 games, Mohler at least 4. The latest round of suspensions sure can't send much of a message to the team, or a community that's getting tired of the same old song and dance.

Another day, another Social Media (SM) platform. And like any other successful SM platform- content is KING. What better way to get people to have rich beautiful and inspiring posts- by enabling a photo-only, smartphone-only application. Say hello to instagram or you could call it stalk-a-gram.
Instagram allows users to upload photos into a square box followed by adding photographic treatments to the photos. From the Earlybird filter to X-pro II you can turn your holiday snaps into jaw dropping million dollar photos. Say goodbye to fuzzy street snaps and say hello to the next Bill Cunningham. Not only are the social geeks and every day peeps jumping on the insta-bandwagon, the celebs are loving it too. So to all those Lara Bingle stalkers and amateur photographers, this one is your baby.
Of course like all SM platforms, you can link your posts to Facebook and Twitter to show just how ah-mezing your photography skills are to all your friends. And the bragging rights begin again.
You can tag other users in your photos, "like" them and also leave comments. Hash-tagging is also very popular when uploading to the insta-verse. I like searching instagram for topics, subjects or places that I'm interested in. Type "travel" into the tags search bar and BOOM 214,905 awesome cool travel pics at my disposal. I think my google image search days are limited.
You can follow your favourite designers, fashionistas, foodies, friends or your mum. Download the app and get snapping today. In the words of Instagram, it's photo sharing re-invented.
Here's a snap-shot of how it works.

Pack carefully - check the weather for the time of year
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
All the administration of our holiday was smooth and efficient and often we were not even aware of all the logistics and planning that was going on to make it all such a success.
Beautiful scenery on the trek with walking through some lovely valleys and villages. As a family we have walked the highest peaks in the UK but still found this quite challenging - you need to be fit! I suffered from mild altitude sickness but it soon passed before the final ascent to Toubkal which was quite an emotional experience for everyone.
A really well organised trip. The food was great even though it was limited to what the mules could carry on the trek. Go prepared with lots of paracetamol, wet wipes, spare toilet roll, head torch and sweets to eat when you're trekking. I would definitely recommend this wonderful trip to adventurous and fit families.
Marrakesh at the end was bustling and vibrant - a perfect way to end the holiday. (FHA 8th Jan 2010)

Christian Minister Wants Taxpayers To Fund Extermination Of Gay & Lesbian Americans
Christian sermons promoting the biblical principal that "Gays and Lesbians should be put to death" are quite common in Kansas. After all Topeka is home to the Westboro Baptist Mega-Chruch which claims a 40,000 plus congregation. It's head pastor, Fred Phelps, coined the phrases "God Hates Fags" and "Fags Must Die".
Now it appears there is a new christian minister making a play for "biggest bigot in Kansas" title. On Sunday Pastor Curtis Knapp,of the New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca Kansas,told his christian congregation that it is the governments job to kill Gay and Lesbian Americans because "God commands it".
"They should be put to death…It tends to limit conversions. It tends to limit people coming out of the closet. 'Oh, so you're saying we should go out and start killing them, no?' I'm saying the government should…it's GODS word, GOD commanded it. It's GODS idea, not mine. And I'm not ashamed of it."
Reliable estimates put the tax dollars collected from Gay and Lesbian American at nearly 20% of the total taxes collected in the United States. Gays and Lesbians do not receive any of the special benefits or tax breaks given the christian church or traditionally married couples.
Gay and Lesbian tax dollars are not going to be used to execute Gay and Lesbian Americans.
Any christian church promoting genocide against American taxpayers shouldn't be allowed to live off the welfare of those American taxpayers. Christian churches in the United States have been given special rights and privileges not available to the common tax paying citizen. Christian churches use these special rights and privileges to spread their bible based hate and influence election in this country while not contributing one penny to her protection!
As of today the United States of America is not a theocracy but if these christian entitlement queens get their way biblical law will be mandated above constitutional law in this great nation.
If this trend of christian promoted terror continues Gay and Lesbian Americans should stop paying taxes and instead invest that money into guns and ammunition. Our tax dollars are not going to support christian institutions that promote killing us! Currently Gays and Lesbians paying for the roads, buildings, food, mansions, private airports, internet access, broadcast stations, sacramental wines and fire/police protection for these christian institutions of hate.
If christians want to continue spouting their hated filled ideology then they need to start paying their fair share and stop sucking the tit dry. Some estimates have put the business of christianity in the United States at nearly $1,000,000,000,000 or ONE TRILLIONS DOLLARS annually in tax free revenue.
If christian churches want American tax dollars to start funding the execution of Gay and Lesbian Americans maybe christian churches should start paying into the system! Let's be honest here. Without Gay and Lesbian tax dollars the United States government and the christian church both would have already failed.
This is the second christian leader in as many weeks to call on the government to round up and execute Gay and Lesbian.
Gay and Lesbian Americans are by and large a peace loving people who tend to shy away from conflict. We need to remember that our brothers in Nazi Germany were also a peace loving people until they were rounded up, imprisoned and left to die in the concentration camps. The Nazi Party used the same "christian morality" arguments we are hearing today from christian leadership to justify the state sponsored genocide against Gays in the 1930′s.
If the christian church continues this hate rhetoric and threats of genocide against Gay and Lesbian Americans seriously consider withholding your taxes and investing that money in weapons and ammunition. When they come for you and your family don't go peacefully!

Any see this new book ? Does it have anything new that we have all not seen over and over, especially after the Burn's doc ? Please let me know.

Any see this new book ? Does it have anything new that we have all not seen over and over, especially after the Burn's doc ? Please let me know.
Evan on the Pat Putnam Johnson/Jeffries thread that book is reviewed as well as others. I'll bring the thread back to the top of the page.
I have the book and highly recommend it. It didn't contain a lot of information that I didn't already know, but there was certainly some, and I've read books like Jeffries 'Two Fisted Jeff', and some others that many people may not have access to. What I really like about the book is that it is full of so many great pictures and many that I hadn't ever seen before. It's also a real nice quality book. It's a monster though, weighing 8 lbs.
One more comment I should have made. I thought the information in the book was very well organized and thorough. It is a nice addition to anyone's boxing book collection.
Does it have many of the Percy Dana photos taken of the day ? I'm interseting in knowing if the photos are more related to the fight or sociological photos of the time.
Yes, it contains many of the Dana photos. The majority of the photos are of the fight and the fighters, but there are some of the other as well.
Sounds great...thanks.
On another thread, I wrote that the December
28, 2005 Hollywood Reporter had an article
about that the Librarian of Congress added
the film of the Jack Johnson vs. Jim Jeffries
bout to the National Registry of Films.
- Chuck Johnston
you know what is strange, This bout had more inpact on America history than any other bout.
Sure we have Louis Schmling, but were there any roits because of one or the other fighter being the winner??
Sure there was a war and all, but that war was going to happen with or with out the Louis 'Schmling bouts.
Johnson Jeffies had race roits, I being born in 81 and all, relly has a some what hard time understaning why they would killed each other over a boxing match.
One of the most amazing things about Jack Johnson was that he was never killed ... when you consider the time he lived in it is facinating that he lived to the age of 68...
he was KILLED in a car crash.
But it is pretty amazing he made it 2 68 with his life style in that era.
I was refering to by the hands of another human being.
[[[[But it is pretty amazing he made it 2 68 with his life style in that era. ]]]]]
Whatever Johnson was, he was not stupid. He knew his way around the South and the North and money lubricated his passage along with some Texas charm and a little Step'nFetchit appetizer.
Still, after the Jeffries riots, it's amazing he wasn't strung up at some point. It's really a testament to the tolerance of the bulk of the citizens of this country, who may not have liked him, but weren't willing to go to the extreme step of hatred.
You nailed it...that plus some dumb luck...
roberto... disagree in re to tolerance being the factor in wh/ he avoided bodily harm from others...
sure there were a % of whites who actually admired johnson back then (probaly more then the convenient current martyr angle that people like k burns like to frame)...
lets face it, regardless of his lifestyle... he was as remarkable a horatio alger story as there was then (& still one of the most remarkable in the history of this nation) rising as a son of a slave off the sweat docks of galveston all the way to the high cotton $$$ & fame of the jefferies fight during the worst violence of the jim crow era... that in any fair minded observer of the time brought w/ it a level of respect...
but to say that inturn equated to a safety zone as he lavishly enjoyed his belt in the states thru '12... is to ignore the larger prevelant % of people (% impossible to guage, but certainly in the majority), even some in his own race, in those times who harbored seething hatred and resentment against the man...
as you well know the klan then wasnt the closet fringe group it is today... it was a well organized network throughout the usa, wh/ esp in the south was even endorsed by mainstream politicians and papers... to think many of those individuals didnt want to see him in between a different set of ropes... is to ignore the blatant violence they unleashed on so many during that era...
bottomline, many murmors of threats & plots i'm sure were thrown about ... tolerance isnt what saved johnson from these being played out...
instead, imo it was 2 clear factors wh/ johnson himself may have shrewdly (as you partially pointed to in re to his knowledge in how to move in all circles) knew himself was vital in staking:
first, the safety of fame itself... holding the most coveted sports position of its time meant people were around him at all times (not all enemies) .... thus trying to take the guy out in that sense was very risky.... not only b/c of witnesses... but also b/c the title itself, even w/ the racism of his time... would demand in itself some level of public justice and fair play... again, not b/c of johnson.. but b/c of the title itself... thus anyone thinking people would look the other way if johnson was shot, knew better when they balanced w/ that the level of power johnson had by holding the title itself...
secondly, johnson himself was big, powerful, in great shape, carried pistol heat & was as bold & fearless as napoleon... that in itself created a level of fear in presence even to the most radical of racist in that time.... lets face it, many had to think... what happens if your shot doesnt take this guy out?... one thing they knew about johnson, he certainly didnt carry fear... my quess is many thought twice b/c of either fisted or worse, armed retaliation itself by the hands of the galveston giant himself.
handtomouth...absolutely brilliant and 100% on the money ! :eek Finally , someone else here who actually gets just what this facinating man had to endure....
just look at that famous photo of Johnson surrounded by dozens of white men at the signing of the Jeffries contract. Jeffries sits with his back turned to Johnson, a complete act of disrespect. It is one of the few photos I have ever seen where Johnson actually looks a bit ill at ease...imagine what his life must have been like...too many judeg him as if he lived by and under todays standards...keeps me rom feeling one iota sorry Jeffries when I see that exceptional photo of Johnson standing over the bloodied and humilated Jeffries at the KO, with the mass audience silenced in disbelief ...
I find the man to be exceptional, all things considered.
Let's remember though that Johnson liked to travel by car and passed through many a podunk town and many who didn't follow boxing didn't know Johnson from Adam. He was just this big, flashy, duded up nigger roaring around in his fancy sports cars passing out money like candy to children. He was also working the surprise factor here as few had any experience with that type.
Now it could also be that sometimes he passed himself off as a negro barnstormer baseball promoter like some of his friends were. Those guys had a lot of pull in communities and were widely welcomed when they came through.
I also suspect in later years he limited his forays into the South although I have no way to substantiate that. At the end of the day, I still say it's a testament to the overall character of the American people that he wasn't lynched. He may have been hated, but was usually at least respected when he wasn't his dazzling sleight of hand best.
Johnson fought and trained in front of hostile crowds from his challanger days until post Willard...this was in the days when the Klan was still lynching black men for simply looking at a white woman. I think he was incredibly lucky that he never came across the one nut it took to plug him with a bullet.
It's true that the vast majority of men then might have held rage in their hearts abut would never act. However, it was far different than it is today. The crowds openly taunted him with racial slurs. This was out in the open.
I feel Johnson was quite lucky. I'm sure his street and common sense helped quite a bit as well.
Again we must remember that the Johnson v Jeffries bout was perfect propaganda for both the right and left for their agendas. Jack Johnson lived his whole life without ever being attacked by anyone save the beating he took for Boston toughs for his opinion on John L. Sullivan. He could have been killed at anytime and his muscles and the gun he carried meant little if any organized group or nut wanted him killed. Again, most of the hysteria is built up to serve a agenda of sorts. What makes JOhnson interesting is that on either end of opinion was either love or hatred of intense kind, but Im sure most of America could have cared less.
Of course Johnson could have been killed at any time. That's why it is a minor miracle that he was not.
In an age when racially motivated lynchings were common, the Klan marched openly and proudly, fifty years before Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and the civil rights movements, one generation after SLAVERY, in an age where a twenty year old kid could have had parents who could have owned and whipped their slaves in front of them, Jack Johnson was beating up white men for the greatest title in sports and basically banging white women in front of the world...this was the world Johnson was fighting in...it was no conspiracy...his audacity was only superceded by his luck.
Has anyone seen that clip where Ali is interviewed and speaks about Jack Johnson ? It was brilliant and hilarious..
I always wondered if Jim Jeffries wanted to punch those idiots in the mouth personally ,who put on the public pressure to return to the ring and fight Jack Johnson.
Can you imagine the peer preure put on Jim Jeffries,especially since he was by then a old far*t and let himself go to seed,like gaining over 100 pounds of blubber.
You cant tell me that didnt shock his system.
BTW IMOP,That why Roy Jones Junior was never the same after the fight with John Ruiz,except Roy had to let his bulk muscles atrophy apparently.
I think it was acombination of elements.
First of off, as always, money. There is never enough and while Jeffries had more than many think, the thought of another huge payday always makes you think.
Secondly, he had huge pride. After hearing everyone under the sun praise him as a superman, it began to stroke his ego. He simply lost perspective and bought into the hype.
I do believe that going into the fight Jeffries said he was in the best chape possible, expected to win but would have no one but himself to blame if he lost.
However, there is little doubt that he was seduced into the fight. He did not persue it as Ali persued Holmes.
I purchased the book and have a few comments:
A noble effort. A nice job on the writing.
There are many candid and posed photos I never saw before anywhere. Great stuff on Jeffries, Choynsky, Corbett. Not a ton as you might expect but still some I have never seen and I have been watching forever.
However, one big problems. A vast amount of the photos are very blurry, as if they were copies of copies of copies. I know this because I have seen copies of most of them in far better condition. It was a huge letdown to see these photos so inky and almost smugged. I don't know if this was the only way the author and the publishers could get access but honestly they look like crap and it was very disappointing. This was after all a picture book.
Yes,that one of the set backs of instant technology as far as photo reproduction.I think they send them by e-mail or something.
I like it when quality books reproduce photographs from the original negatives.

Whether you're a consumer or a merchant on Amazon or eBay, you've probably noticed that some prices change too fast to keep up with. And over the past few years as online marketplaces grew, merchants trying to stay competitive have increased the frequency with which they re-price their products, say marketplace sellers and the vendors who provide them with automated re-pricing and product listing technologies.
But now many of those vendors, including Mercent Corp., Teikametrics, ChannelAdvisor Corp. and Zoovy Inc., say that having the lowest prices isn't the whole story when it comes to winning top spots in e-marketplace search results. I caught up with a few of them to find out what they know about how e-marketplaces operate and what retailers can do to boost their sales with them.
Alasdair McLean-Foreman, CEO of Teikametrics, which specializes in helping merchants to sell on Amazon's marketplace, says retailers who immediately list their products at the lowest price in order to beat competition may in fact be cheating themselves out of revenue. For example, if a merchant with 100,000 items lists them at a higher price point than a competitor with only 10 of the same item, once the competitor sells out its much smaller inventory, the merchant is free to sell its inventory for more money. For the retailer with lots of inventory, this could lead to significantly more revenue than if the merchant had aimed to offer the lowest price and ended up selling a lot of goods at rock-bottom prices, McLean-Foreman says.
Sometimes, he says, it also pays for retailers to wait before rushing to be in the Buy Box, or the first product listing that appears when a shopper on Amazon or eBay clicks the "buy now" button. That's especially true for merchants selling seasonal or niche items. A costume retailer, for instance, might want to lay low until two or three weeks before Halloween so that other merchants sell out of their costume inventory. Then the retailer that waited can respond during the period of peak demand by selling its own wares at higher prices. Teikametrics helps retailers automate timing and inventory optimizations for clients.
Looking at the question from Amazon's perspective, experts say price is only one of the factors that determine which merchant gets the top listing.
Brian Horakh, founder and CEO of Zoovy, says he's noticed that sometimes simply refreshing product information on Amazon without making any price changes garners a top listing. When he dug into the factors that determine retailers' rankings in Amazon search results, he was surprised to find that price was only one of many—the others include proximity to a buyer, shipping offers, inventory levels and reputation.
Amazon also tracks a retailer's statistics on operating performance over 30-day, 90-day and lifetime periods, he says. Such statistics include consumer ratings and cancellation rates, which come from not having the inventory to fulfill an order, and which can lower a retailer's ranking in search results on Amazon.com. "Retailers don't understand how bad it hurts them to accidently oversell," he says.
Amazon also factors into its marketplace search rankings whether a retailer participates in Fulfillment by Amazon, a program in which Amazon ships goods from its own warehouses on behalf of its marketplace sellers, Horakh says.
Still, Eric Best, CEO of Mercent, adds that despite all these factors, retailers that don't re-price with some regularity aren't doing all they can to win on e-marketplaces. Standing out online is tough, and with 90% of sales on Amazon coming from the Buy Box, he says, retailers need to be on their toes. Mercent monitors and updates product information for two million SKUs per hour. This holiday season Best says he expects to see for the first time merchants re-pricing more frequently than every hour.
"If your competitor re-prices daily and you do it hourly, for 23 hours a day you are in position to own the [purchase] decision," he says. "You might not have the Buy Box, but you can decide what to do—if they re-price at midnight or one a.m., you can decide if you want to replace them for the rest of the day."
Indeed it's up to retailers to decide whether they want to race to the lowest price to win sales. But to really maximize e-marketplace profits, they'll need a deeper strategy.
Most Amazon Re-sellers aren't focused on ranking high but quickly moving product. Some get impatient waiting for a sale at a higher price point so they lower prices.
